Felt up at Felt Club

Were you at the most recent Felt Club alternative craft fair, in Los Angeles in July? It was total mayhem. I was one of the first people to get inside (there were at least 400 queued around the block) and the place filled up so quickly it became nearly impossible to breathe, much less move around and shop.

What a shame, because the vendors I managed to see did have some really neat stuff. The Felt Club organizers promise a larger venue and a saner event next time (November). I sure hope so, because this girl’s got a lot of crafty shopping to do for the holidays!

I didn’t manage to buy a single item at the July event, but here’s a totally groovy purse I picked up at the previous Felt Club. Seriously, is it not the best? That is gen-yoo-wine vintage textured faux wood grain vinyl you’re looking at, there, folks. (I wanted to point that out in case your eyes are transfixed by the giant vinyl appliqué of blood dripping scissors and you didn’t notice the background).
